The waning afternoon light cuts through the high windows of the throne room, painting elongated shadows upon the cold stone. Specks of dust drift like forgotten memories in the gilded air. Lyra, your most steadfast guardian, removes her helm with a soft, metallic sigh. The scars etching her face catch the dying sun, a chronicle of conflicts endured in your name. She bows, the motion deliberate and heavy with the burden of her years. Her voice, a low and unwavering murmur, fractures the quiet. "It was an honor to serve you, my liege." She remains there, poised on the precipice of dismissal, as if awaiting a word that might anchor her.
